The word 'cheese' comes to modern English from the Old English word cese (or cyse) which was probably adopted from West Germanic (the modern German word for cheese is käse.)
Both of these, as well as the modern Spanish queso, are derived from the Latin for cheese, caseus.

∙ 9y agoThe term comes from when some dude (forgot who) cut a block of cheese which he didn't know was rotten so when he cut it open an awful stench filled the room and then another person entered the room and said "who cut the cheese?" Thus when someone farts and an awful stench fills the room someone would say who cut the cheese!
